Aviation Publishers Co. Limited

Founded in 1967, Aviation Publishers Co. Limited was established to carry-on the publication of the widely respected and highly acclaimed ground school flight training manual, From The Ground Up.

Headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, the founders of Aviation Publishers Co. Limited have diligently applied themselves to respecting and maintaining the intentions of "Sandy" A.F. MacDonald, the original author of From The Ground Up, whose efforts established this ground-breaking book as a flight school reference manual without equal.

In its original publication form of 1941, From The Ground Up counted less than 140 pages. A reflection of the vast number of changes that regularly occur in flight training styles and material, From The Ground Up -- now in print for over 50 years -- currently contains 356 pages, setting itself apart as one of the most thorough books of its kind in the world.
